Seeking entries for the AJIS Paper Development Workshop at ACIS 2024
The purpose of the workshop is to develop and nurture research in the region, consistent with the current goal of AJIS to promote "interesting and sufficiently rigorous" research (see our recent editorial: https://doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v28.5427)
The Workshop
The workshop will run for a full day and is an opportunity for scholars to share their developing works. We envisage a mix of brief workshop presentations, together with individualised and small group mentoring, feedback and guidance provided by the AJIS editorial team and other senior academics. As this runs concurrently with the ACIS Doctoral Consortium, doctoral consortium participants should not apply.
Submission, Registration, Deadlines
We welcome work-in-progress or early full-draft papers on any IS topic within the scope of AJIS. A submission does not bind authors to submit the paper to AJIS, nor does acceptance at the workshop guarantee the paper will ultimately be accepted for publication in the journal.
Submissions should be at least 10 pages (excluding references and tables) and follow the usual author guidelines for AJIS. We stress that this is not an idea development workshop - we are focused on helping 'unstick and extend' current working papers/projects and accelerate their path towards publication. Early-career researchers are encouraged to apply, but the workshop is not restricted to early-career researchers.
Submissions should be submitted to the Co-Editors-in-Chief at ajis.eic@aaisnet.org. Together with your submission please indicate which author or authors will be attending the workshop if the submission is accepted. Only authors of accepted papers will be permitted to attend the workshop.
Submissions will be desk reviewed by the AJIS editorial team with decisions made on a rolling basis until the workshop reaches capacity, or until November 21.
A separate registration is not required and there is no cost for the workshop - but please note that this event is self-catered. It is of course expected that authors will be registered for the ACIS 2024 conference.
We look forward to receiving your submissions and seeing you at ACIS 2024 in Canberra!
Kind regards,
Michael Davern & Stu Black
Co-Editors-in-Chief Australasian Journal of Information Systems
